11/19/2011 Special Performance at Ala Moana
Closer to the end of 2011, shoppers are seen in increased number in many of our malls and stores. Today is Saturday 11/19/2011, we see many people out dining and shopping at Ala Moana Shopping Center. One of the busiest place we saw was the APPLE STORE, it was packed with customers and those who were just hanging there to wait for wives to finish shopping at close by Victoria Secret store or other clothing stores.
At the center stage, we saw young hula dancers dancing skillfully while crowds cheered on for them.
Ala Moana has been a shopping location for many visitors and locals alike. If you are hungry there is also a food court on the first floor where you will find many different cuisines to suite your appetite. If you enjoy fine dining you can go to the upper floor to find buffet, Italian, Chinese, American, and Japanese foods.
Kohnotori Restaurant in Hawaii
Reported by 808 Business Network
Hidden in the not so obvious ally of King Street, closed to University Ave and King St intersection, Kohnotori Restaurant is indeed a rather special dining experience in Hawaii. It is a Japanese style Yakitori restaurant where a cook is standing behind the counter to prepare your foods. It is a “hot” job to stand there the whole night but the cook seems to enjoy it. It is unique in its own way and definitely is a good place to chat with friends after work and have a glass of cold beer or two.
The place is not very big so the tables are limited in number. It is recommended to make reservation prior going there if you want to get the table seats. However it is not too bad to sit at the counter if you just have two people since it gives you a rather different experience as well. Our favorite dishes are their beef and shrimp. We also enjoy the cold tofu to go along. For those of you who are big eaters, you may also consider order the ramen with chicken broth. Some friends love the cow tongue and some like to order French fries to go with beers. To order, you simply take the paper in front of you and check the dish that you want and choose either T (Teriyaki) or S (salted) style.
You also put down the quantity that you like for each order. When you see shrimp $2.50, it means one shrimp on the stick. We also like the Enoki wrapped inside the bacon and the delicious chicken wings. We enjoy our Kirin cold beer while eating. 
There is a limited number of parking stalls in front of the shop. Next to the Kohnotori, another famous Japanese restaurant, Imanas, is found . There is a bus stop close to the restaurant right on the King street.
Again we do feel that this restaurant is worth your visit. Average spending is about 50-70 dollars with two people that drink modestly.
